Stoer Lighthouse stands on Stoer Head near Raffin, on the rugged Assynt coast of northwest Scotland. Built in 1870 by lighthouse engineers David and Thomas Stevenson, its compact white tower and former keepers’ buildings sit above steep cliffs overlooking the Minch. The exposed headland gives the structure a striking sense of isolation, with clean white masonry set against dark rock, open sea, and fast-changing Highland skies. A coastal path from the lighthouse leads toward the Old Man of Stoer, the area’s distinctive offshore sea stack. Access is via the narrow, single-track road through Stoer, and the surrounding cliffs require care in strong winds.
